The leader should be ideal

If I am deficient, by seeing your example I shall correct myself. This is
the idea, not that a fool’s paradise: all fools and join together. Not like
that. There should be ideal life, at least the leaders, the president, the
GBC. They will show the example, and they will follow. Then it is
beneficial. And all of them are fools? Then it is fool’s paradise. At least,
in the blind association, at least if one man has got eyes, then he can lead
all the blind men. But if all of them are blind, then it is fool’s paradise.
So somehow or other, we have got now a position. People likes us. So we
should not spoil by personal sense gratification. That is my request. If we
can maintain this institution rigidly according to the order, then many
people will be benefited. By seeing our behavior, by character, they will
become. Apani acari prabhu jiveri siksaya. The leader should be ideal.
